Born in the era of the French Revolution, her family lived in exile in Germany and the Netherlands until Napoleon granted most of the aristocrats amnesty. Looking to unite ties between Piemonte and France, Giulia Colbert married a fellow courtier and soon-to-be Count of the Empire, Carlo Tancredi Falletti, who had strong ties to the Barolo area. She became known as the Marchesa of Barolo.

Anna Savino of Italianna Food & Wine Tours and Lisa Anderson of Lisa's Dolce Italia introduce us to Ryta Barbero (known as "PurpleRyta"), an artist in Barolo who paints with wine.

Learn how you discover the culture and spirit of wine and how you can make your own wine art with some leftover bottle of wine!
